from the songs album 430 N. Harper Ave.
When i was young and pushed around
And beaten up and beaten down
Who'd i run to mama tell me who
And as i grew to be a man
And all the world held such ?lan
I did what i thought i just had to do
Chorus:
It was you mama you, it was you all along
It was you i ran away from i was wrong
And if i could i'd change my life
I swear to god i'd cut it out with a knife
And with a glue stick i'd reapply it in a song
And laid back kerouac never no a heart attack
Drinking and thinking about the place that he ran back to
The moloch is an old man the moloch is a love-lack
Bending for a quick snack remembering his friend jack
And mama sometimes i remember you
Chorus
Man loves woman
Mother loves child
Sometimes i call my lady mama
So i can feel at home for a while
So i can feel at home for a while
Looking around at all the mellencamp towns
The excuses and the nooses where the coffee grounds
I found places and traces of a storybook world
And i went out there for a ride
On the misty coast but the holy host
Is under mickey d's american flag and it's unfurled
Chorus
Man loves woman sometimes
Mother loves child
Sometimes i call my lady mama
So i can feel at home for a while
So i can feel at home for a while
